Returning from the abyss

Chapter 232 Suspicious Action
Just kidding, Zhao Xihua didn't really come to Lu Ning just because he had nothing to do.

Lu Ning understood the districts [-], [-], and [-], while Zhao Xihua started from District [-], and became more aware of the contradiction between District [-] and District [-].

"As the core of the city, the C circuit has a strong control over the entire city, but don't you think that some aspects even exceed ordinary control?"

"Yes."

The two of them, together with Chang Zibin, found an empty restaurant, walked in, sat down at a few seats, and began to exchange information on their side.

"I've noticed before...Although Rabilins is fully prepared, it takes about an hour to react to take countermeasures. There is no such time difference on the C circuit."

Whether it was the previous super power target, the red reward of HELLSPEED, or the order to kill Remington in the zombie episode, the C circuit issued the order almost instantly.

"The execution speed of the so-called order cannot be shortened by a person's reaction and wisdom. It requires the synchronization and coordination of the entire system. Unless it is a person like Muscle Concentric, it is impossible to achieve such a high execution efficiency." Zhao Xihua Said.

"Yes."

"But I thought about it again, why can't the C circuit be a system?"

Lu Ning couldn't help raising her eyebrows when she heard this idea, and had to admit that this guess is very possible.

"You see, when each region reveals its own strength, there are some hidden high-tech means, so artificial intelligence..."

"That's why the C circuit needs authorization, and it has to follow some set system regulations!" After being reminded like this, Lu Ning immediately connected some weird situations he found on HELLSPEED before, "He has a lot of freedom to execute. Power, such as the Sabbath broadcast, the collection of evil codes... At the same time, the C circuit is still responsible for all managers' communications, after all, this is what it is best at."

"You know a lot." Zhao Xihua praised, "Because of this, we can't just let the war go on like this. Labillins will still lose, it's just a matter of time, we have to conduct a special campaign against the C circuit. layout."

"That is to destroy the Council of Heaven?"

"Yes."

The two looked at each other, and both realized what the other meant.

"The so-called Council of Heaven is not the heir to the evil of the source, nor is it an individual with powerful superpowers, but the ten administrators who make up the entire Sin City—the most important thing in this is not people."

"...It's the existence of this city." Lu Ning continued.

Zhao Xihua tore off a post-it note and began to list the results of the battle so far.

"The primordial evils in our hands include rage, greed, and gluttony among the seven deadly sins. In addition, jealousy is in the third area, and lust is in the seventh area. These two areas are biased towards your side, and the sacrifice club controls Arrogance, then except for the last laziness, these seven items are basically out of the city’s backbone.”

"Ah."

"The ten evils, greed, instability, and cruelty have been resolved, and the abilities of materialism and atheism have been proven. Apart from the two on your side, the most critical thing now is the remaining three source qualities."

"Wait, aren't we going to attack this city hub?"

"That's right, circuit C, the core of the city, there must be a battle between us. As the place where the ugly source is located, I can try to interfere. But don't you think there are some problems with the other two?"

"You mean... when the administrators of all districts are dispatched, and some of them don't hesitate to come to the battlefield in person, the administrators of these two districts still stand still?"

"Correct."

Zhao Xihua lightly crossed his fingers.

"Remember the mission prompt? It is not necessary to kill all the members to destroy the Council of Heaven, and the reverse of this sentence means..."

"To kill some key people."

"And those who can hold back their temper at the last moment must have ulterior motives."

====================
Gunk returned to his office.

Most of his colleagues know him as an ordinary history professor. There are many people who knew him before, but their "history" has been tampered with.

When people in District [-] were in panic, many people were trying to find a safe place to evacuate. Naturally, Gunk knew the location of the refuge in District [-], and pointed out the direction of many people along the way.

When he returned to the office, he found that his temporary agent was waiting nervously.

Li Yanke.

This professor, who was not particularly conspicuous at first, has shown a lot of enthusiasm for exploration in the near future, and Gunke had a proper contact with the other party, and only used a little bit of ability to let the other party fully explain the progress of the investigation.

"Manager! Our current situation is very urgent! If it is to be implemented..."

Li Yanke was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"Bring the book and meet someone with me."

Gun Ke raised his hand to stop Li Yanke's next words, took out the car keys from the drawer, turned around and left.

"Calm down, no one knows what we are going to do now, even if there is, I will make that history disappear. Remember, as long as you can guarantee a calm response, our actions will not be in any danger."

Giving advice to Li Yanke along the way is one of the pleasures of Gunke in his spare time.Soon the car drove into the fourth district, in front of a house that had been abandoned for a long time.

"What are we doing here now?"

"Be quiet, come to visit an old friend." Gunk got out of the car, walked to the house, and knocked on the door.

After about 5 minutes, the door was opened.

A maid with a cold expression looked out from the crack of the door and found that it was Gunk, so she nodded and gave up her seat.

"Beluffy, is Utopia here?" Gunk was also quite polite to this maid.

"Master is still in bed."

"Uh... is she awake then?"

"woke up."

"Please ask her for me if it's a good time to meet now."

Beluffy nodded, turned and walked down a cellar entrance on the floor.

"Who lives here?" Li Yanke couldn't help asking, looking at the dilapidated environment around him.

"When we first established the city, there were ten people." Gunk said with a little nostalgia, "Most of them are gone now, and I have been shouldering the responsibility of blurring the history of the city until now, and here are other people. A man who has remained until now."

"Then this person must be very powerful, right?"

"Don't inquire, she won't get involved in any affairs in this city at all, even the fourth district handed over to her has become like this, one can imagine how much she hates to interfere in things here."

"That's not true, Gunk."

A girl in a nightgown came out of the cellar with a smile, she just glanced at Li Yanke and didn't care, and said to Gunke:

"An interesting drama should be developed when each character has his own soul. The audience should not judge the performance of the actors. This is the reason why I don't like to be responsible for anything."

"Long time no see." Gunk looked very happy.

"The last time you came here was when you came here for Christmas 20 years ago. The city is so big. Is it so difficult to visit once in a while?" Kong Xiang blamed, and then waved, "Come on down, yes What do you want to say?"

"No... it won't pass. The time is ripe."

Kongxiang stopped in his tracks.When she turned around, her expression was already a little scary.

"So what are you talking about this time? Last words?"

"You're talking too seriously, I'm just asking you as a backup...just in case." Gunk thought for a while before deciding on the word.

"boring."

"Ok?"

"I'll be bored, Gunk. Two viewers can discuss, but one viewer can't talk about it even if he has a lot of fun." Kong Xiang waved his hand, "You are depriving me of the fun here, and once this city There's nothing much to see for me, and I'm leaving right away. You know I don't feel attached to this place at all."

"Huh... so we old friends are the last thing to keep you here?"

"You take yourself too seriously. But it's okay, if you really cause some natural or man-made disaster, I can adjust it a little bit. Don't expect too much, my strength is limited."

"Actually, you've been against me."

"That's right, but I have to respect the wishes of my old friend. I still think your thinking is unreliable."

"However, no one can stop me. Even if I provide so many conveniences, those who are closest to the truth still fall short. Don't you think this is the result of some kind of will decision?"

"I don't think that the only thing that can control me in this world is my own will. I don't like the theory of fate that you guys have like sticks."

Gunk suddenly laughed.

"A hundred years ago, there must have been someone who was very quarrelsome standing here to refute you."

"A hundred years ago, there would be someone who agrees with me on my side."

Kongxiang also laughed.

The laughter of the two became more and more in tune, gradually mixed with some inexplicable emotions.

Then, slowly converge.

"Then... goodbye." Gunk turned around.

"Idiot, you will never lose your reputation as the source of quality." Kongxiang cursed with a smile, then turned and walked down the stairs in the cellar.

===========================
The world has ushered in one of the wildest dawns.

Torrential rain and strong wind are no longer bad weather, what is even worse is the scarlet reverse Kabbalah phantom that appears above the dark clouds.

"How the hell did this happen?"

Looking at the terrifying sky outside the window, Lu Ning couldn't help murmuring.Unexpectedly, someone actually answered her words.

"Circuit C activates contingency plans."

Lu Ning turned her head abruptly, and found the woman squatting on the ground behind her.She was wearing a wet raincoat, and her long hair was stuck together by the rain. She had a pretty face, but her face was a little depressed.

"This voice is... the door opener?"

"It took me several days to get rid of Long Guihai, but his death allowed the C circuit to activate this thing."

Rie Kazama glanced out the window.

"The C-loop is a program. It is not particularly appropriate to say that it is artificial intelligence. It is the electronic soul created by the first C-loop after encoding its own way of thinking before death. This program has become the Internet behind the network. A ghost watching over the city. And as insurance against contingencies, the first C-Circuit set up an authority administrator..."

"The dragon returns to the sea?"

"Yes, it's a pity that I didn't know these things until after his death. Now the C circuit has no restrictions at all, and its superpowers have been completely liberated..." Kazama Rie smiled wryly, "It is this The core of the city's leylines, in this leyline melting pot, the sins of all people will crystallize, it's only a matter of time."

"Crystal? What does that mean?"

"It's better for you who hold the evil of the source...but I'm not so relaxed..." Rie Kazama raised her hand, and the arm had already been abnormally deformed, and countless small transparent squares emerged from the surface of the skin. As it spreads, the subcutaneous blood vessels and fat are directly exposed to people's eyes.

"This ability can't be hidden even if you hide inside the door. I doubt that the evil code is made in this way, but... I'm almost out of strength, Lu Ning, I can't provide any help in the future, just live It's hard to come down..."

Lu Ning walked over, looked at the changes on her arm, and flicked her sword sharply on the layer of crystals.

After all, the evil of the source quality is a level higher than the product. Although it made a harsh scratching sound, the blade still left a scar on the surface of the crystal.

And if there are scars, you can continue.

The crystals began to slowly turn into white powder and fall down. Rie Kazama looked at Lu Ning in surprise. Although her body was still getting worse, she lost some crystals and her burden was reduced.

"I... dealt with it a little bit, and now you can stay here. I'm going to try to solve the C circuit to make that disgusting shadow disappear. By the way, Ye Nai is dead. If there is still time in the future, I think you should be willing to pay homage."

"Ye Nai is dead? She—she's a very clever person..." Rie Kazama was stunned.

"Because of you, she went to investigate cruelty, and because of me, she knew the truth. She died because she helped the two of us, otherwise she wouldn't be involved in such an irrelevant matter."

Lu Ning took off a raincoat from the coat rack.

"So we have to pass the level successfully and go back alive, so that we won't disappoint her death."

After zipping it up, she opened the door and went outside.

On the street, you can see fallen people, cyborgs, zombies, and some other combat units every ten meters. Even Mo La's mechanical army seems to be not immune, and crystals begin to precipitate on the metal surface. The indiscriminate attack of the C circuit will undoubtedly arouse the anger of other administrators, so its superpower must not be as simple as making people lose their combat effectiveness against these things.

The first step in the furnace is smelting reduction, and the second step should be smelting.

Lu Ning found a bicycle and hurried to the sixth district.

But will things really be so easy?
